However, spatial mapping can also be used to evaluate things like crane hook time and positioning, in order to drive productivity benefits.
In this video, Jaimie Johnston MBE explains how a platforms approach to design for manufacture and assembly (P-DfMA) works - and how it is delivering results at the Forge, a major commercial development by Landsec in central London..The Forge is the world's first commercial developed to be designed and built using a P-DfMA approach.
It is also designed be the UK's first commercial development to be net zero in both construction and operation.. P-DfMA makes this possible.Antonios Kountouriotis.Our integrated approach to the delivery of M&E services is designed to deliver the best possible results.Using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) adds value at every stage of the design and build process, by identifying opportunities for standardisation of components and / or processes.
It brings the principles, experience and successes of the manufacturing industry to construction – with all the associated benefits in terms of reducing cost and waste, while increasing quality and efficiency.(Read more about DfMA.
M&E systems fit naturally with DfMA.
Many processes and components are already standard.If you'd also like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach, DfMA and Industrialised Construction, sign up for our newsletter here:.

Of course, I would not have used the word reductive maybe “this just doesn’t make any sense”.For I could sense, even at a young age, that the people doing the work felt no connection to any purpose or larger endeavour..
